It is satisfactory to know that the conduct of the native banker has been so promptly repudiated by the Provincial Judge, Jul Cheng, the Jate, Shanghal Taolai, and by the native Chamber, of Commerce, and that action has been taken by the re- sent Sbanghal Tabtal which will probably have the effect of preventing in the future similar unady sed aucmple to disturb the good relations present existing between foreign cra and Chinesa in Shanghai. The police are deserving of every credit for the promptness with which they succeeded in tracing out the origin of the circulars and for so quickly bringing those responsible before the Mixed Court With the proceedings at his Mixed Court to-day, however, wo cannot, Express the same satisfaction, and we think Assistant Superintendent Springfield was THE N.

give too much importance to the present affair, and we expect that the frms more immediately concerned look upon the incident with complete indifference, but nevertheless it is desirable in the interests of the foreigners that attempts, of this kind should be seriously regarded. From the remarks of the accused's counsel and the manner in which the charge was disposed of by the Court, it is evident that it has been arranged that no actual punish ment will be indicted on the enterprising native banker for his peculiar ideas of com petition. At the same time, it will not be according to Chinese methods of judicial proceedings if he is not made to pay sweatly, if indirectly, for his indiscretion; and we have no doubt before the banker heard the last of the affair he will be completely convinced that instigating boycoll is an extrenicly unprofitable way of promoting business. Wo sincerely hope no more of these unpleasant incidents will occur to mar the harmony of foreign and native relations."
